After a year of use, I can say that despite the low price, there is hardly anything to complain about. In other reviews, you can find information about a flying wick and a leaking tank, but these are rather isolated defects that can be claimed. My unit had no such problems. The only drawback is that extinguishing the wick is harder – you can't fully hide it because then it would fall into the tank; you have to leave it slightly outside and blow it out like a candle. A mirror for directing the light would be useful, but for this price that would already be too much. To sum up: it's hard to find anything better in this price range. If you don't mind a bit harder extinguishing, I fully recommend it. If you want to extinguish the wick only with the knob, it's better to look for a more expensive model.

Beautiful and easy to use lamp, gives light, but a major flaw is the leaking kerosene tank – after every move it leaves a mark on the floor. Changing the wick is also very difficult and even after putting it on, it can move around uncontrollably.
-
At this price, it's hard to expect more. The lamp gives nice, bright light. I have some reservations about the fuel tank cap – it's hard to tell if it's tightly closed because the design is unusual (partly pushed in, partly screwed in). For people who need a lamp for occasional trips or a one-time camp, it will be fully sufficient.
-
Great lamp – it provides a lot of light with low kerosene consumption and creates a unique ambiance.
-
The lamp creates a great atmosphere and using it is easy and pleasant.
-
A very nice lamp, bought just in case during a promotion. The only downside – the used wick is round, not flat like in most lamps.
-
Lightweight and solidly made. It's a pity there is no kerosene level indicator. After the third use, the wick got stuck and I couldn't extinguish it with the knob, but the light is pleasant and I think it's worth buying for this price.
-
Very nice lamp, simple to use like every kerosene lamp. Perfect for camping or in case of a power outage.
-
The operation is very easy, the light is pleasant – ideal both for camping and for home in the evening. I recommend it!
-
This classic kerosene lamp helps create a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
